La Femme En Noir ships QUICK. This is my second purchase from them and I’m just as impressed by the speedy arrival!
I’m a true medium. Waist measures 30ish inches, and for reference in their Marilyn lace gown, I wore a medium. 
For this gown, I definitely could have sized down to a small. However, this dress isn’t meant to give you much shape, and the longer I wear it, I’m thinking I might actually be glad it’s not tighter in the arms or neck line. I there’s definitely space between my armpits and the sleeve, but again I’m starting to think that may be better. 
Order your true size or size down and you should be good!!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Five Stars — Held Up to Dracula-Level Chaos!
I bought this dress to wear in a theater production of Dracula and it exceeded every expectation! It survived a full week of intense nightly rehearsals plus two full performance weekends, blood, fights, running, and all! My role was extremely physical and this dress still allowed me to move comfortably while looking perfectly period-accurate. The fabric held up wonderfully, washed well, and never restricted me, even during the more… dramatically messy scenes! 
If you need a costume piece that can endure a bit of theatrical mayhem, this is the one. 10/10 would absolutely recommend. This dress is a scream!

This is the most ridiculous, beautiful purchase i’ve ever made from La Femme En Noir and i cannot wait to spend my cold winter lounging around my studio in it.

Amazing quality. The attention to detail is beautiful. I could have sized down.

This dress is simply incredible, exquisite really. Timeless. The details are stunning and it can be styled in so many different ways. I bought my usual 2x and was concerned with the bicep because I have bigger arms but it fits great and so comfortable. Get off the fence and buy this wardrobe treasure!

The absolutely most beautiful dress I've ever owned! It's like a gothic night gown with amazing sleeves!! Incredible! Im a 2x usually and their 2x is true to size. Absolutely a dress I will treasure

I'm in love. I ordered the XL since it runs large (I'm 45-38-47), and it fits beautifully. It's extremely flattering and the skirt is fuller than I was expecting which is a pleasant surprise. The fabric is gorgeous and it's extremely well made. The highest quality item in my closet right now. Highly recommend

Been eyeing this dress for a long time, and I'm so happy I was able to finally get it! It really lives up to the expectations, good quality, sturdy, flowy, and comfy. It took a while to get to me because I'm half-way across the world, but it's definitely worth the wait. Hoping I can get more stuff from this shop again

Love it. I enjoyed the film and knew I had to purchase this once it was available. I contacted customer service regarding sizing because, initially, there was a measurement error listed. This was back when the dress was in its initial release. I have no trouble moving my arms. I did wear it on a rather warm day but I was not overheated. Happy with my purchase. Survived a machine wash on delicate cycle with no agitator. Only washed it once so far, might be tempting the fates to continue that.

The detailing on this dress is exquisite! I was wearing it outside on an 80° day and was surprisingly quite comfortable and not sweating. I also could wear cuddleduds under for winter and stay warm. I do a lot of dress-up in period clothing for events and volunteering and this will be a lovely dress to have available for time period attire!

Gorgeous, well crafted, just a stunning garment.

Love the dress only issues is that it is bigger then expected and the under skirt was not sewn correctly

It's so beautiful. I was scared putting it on, trying to ensure that my arms were a good fit. I think sizing up is best to ensure no issues with arms. I got a large, and I think I'm measuring just under 14 inches relaxed bicep. I've been standing in it writing this review and I think it relaxed ever so slightly.  I like it better with the hands belt than the one ribbon belt it comes with personally. About 5'6 and it's not dragging on the floor but definitely close enough where I'd pick it up before walking through water of course.
